Ransomware Hot Line: 800-462-8800
Ransomware needs time to work its way through a network. Because of this, ransomware assaults are typically launched on weekends and at night, when support personnel are likely to take longer to become aware of a breach and are less able to organize a quick and forceful response. The more lateral movement ransomware is able to achieve within a victim's network, the more time it takes to recover core operations and scrambled files and the more information can be exfiltrated to the dark web. Progent's Ransomware Hot Line is designed to guide you to take the time-critical first steps in mitigating a ransomware attack by putting out the fire. Progent's online ransomware engineers can help you to identify and quarantine infected servers and endpoints and guard clean resources from being compromised. If your system has been penetrated by any strain of ransomware, don't panic. Get immediate help by calling Progent's Ransomware Hot Line at 800-462-8800.
